Within the framework of his research on Mongolian long song, he implemented the international research project on 'Traditional Heritage and Singing Proficiency of Long Song' in 2008-2010〔(Brief report on IISNC web site )〕 and conducted the field expeditions of the project and executed the progressive and final report.

As an outcome of the 5-years study, Dorjdagva compiled and published the book titled 'Mongolian Long Song and Its Inheriters' with an audio CD 〔(Author: M. Dorjdagva.

He started searching, studying and learning Mongolian ancient long songs when he studied as a professional singer since 2001. Together with his friend, B.Battulga, proficient morin khuur musician, Dorjdagva started his experimentation on restoring the long song, intangible cultural heritage of Mongolia, in full length on the basis of original and complete lyrics and variants of long song melodies throughout the country. They tried modern woodenbox f-hole Morin khuur, (), Mongolian traditional flute and finally came up on traditional Mongolian leatherbox (khuur ) with horse hair strings that perfectly matched with long song singing. After a dozen years of research and attempt, the two artists had their album ''Mongolian Statehood Long Song'' officially exalted on April 12, 2013 at the Mongolian Statehood History Museum located in the State Ceremony Great Hall of the Government House of Mongolia.〔(News on the exaltation of Mongolian Statehood Long Song at the Statehood History Museum on Mongolian news site. Date April 12, 2012 )〕 ''Mongolian Statehood Long Song'' is an album of 9 Mongolian ''aizam'' ("grande") long songs, including ''Ertnii saikhan'' ("Ancient Splendid"), ''Tumen Ekh'' ("Myriad's Leader"), ''Khuur Magnai'' ("Fiddle Leader"), ''Durtmal saikhan'' ("Iridescent Splendid"), ''Kherlengiin baraa'' ("Sight of Kherulen River"), ''Ikh Zambuutiviin naran'' ("Sun of Great Jambudvipa"), ''Asaryn undur'' ("Heavenly Noble"), ''Erkhem tur'' ("Statehood of Excellence") and ''Enkh mendiin bayar'' ("Celebration of Welfare"). These songs were sung by Myagmarsürengiin Dorjdagva. Morin khuur musician Battulga Batbold, one of the most proficient Morin khuur musicians at present, is the professional teacher of Morin khuur class at the Music and Dance College of Mongolia. The creation of this album is the first and only edition of full-length Mongolian grand long songs, which were almost lost during the socialist regime as the long song was allowed to sing on stage only for 3–5 minutes. It did become a significant event in the history of Mongolian musicology, folk music tradition, cultural heritage and continuation and preservation of Mongolian classic art of long song, according to Mongolian renowned scholars, researchers, academicians and musicologists.〔(A TV program of Mongolian scholars valuing the importance of the 'Mongolian Statehood Long Songs' /in Mongolian/.
